What kind of reactions are you getting from people when you take the car out ?



Dean and I went to a cruise in over the weekend. Most people (at least car people) know it's a Fiero, but there are a few who say "Nice car...what exactly is it?". We heard one guy say "Hey, this guy put a Chevy V8 in his Porsche" For some reason people like to touch it and flat black paint does not hide finger prints.
Dean brought his Harley and parked it next to my car. I think they compliment each other.

Clay here is an update for you. I was able to work on the car last night for a little while.
I got the shift light done and wired in and it wroks great I was also able to get the passanger inside of the car removed to do the E dead, I got the first coat on and then ran out so I will have to order more to get it done. so with that I un packed the sway bars and mocked them up to make sure I have all the parts and I am missing a few small parts but I also have lots of extra stuff. I am not sure what I will need yet because of the HT setup on the car but no big deal.





the shift light comes on when you start the car so you can see it on. if you look at the shift light in both pic's you can see the lights in it are differant. when you first turn it on it has a rotating light pattern then the whole thing lights up . that thing is bright!

No it will not fit I made that as a one off for my car.

Carnut, LOL bondo dust white Harley I cleaned it up to ride it

Ok on to progress report.......
I was able to work on Clays car monday. I got the HHP swaybars installed with the HT setup he has it required some Tweaking to make it all work.
the front end links needed to be cut to clear the knuckle because of the rear bearing setup. the rear was not bad to install, drill a few holes and mount.
I also had to install some grease fittings in the front and lube everything.
once that was done I removed the seat tracks cleaned them up and re painted them.
then on to the new intake, Clay wanted it port matched so that is where I am with it I got one side done last night and I will try to get the other side done tonight.
here are some pic's.

this is the bar before cutting


and after

Question; Do you think this will be case with all suspesnions using this sway bar set-up? I plan on using a the Corvette 13" rotor set-up and was just wondering.

Thank you.

This mod is because I am using HTMotorsports' Slalom kit with HHP bars. They bolt on with no mods to a stock set-up or at least stock spindles. I am the first to use this combination and could have Paul make me some more arms if I wanted to keep the three hole adjustability, but I don't think I'll need it since I have five points of adjustment in the back to balance it.
